Space Becomes Available . . .

Update from late last week, when I announced that Darlene, Picasso and Fred from Stampland would be in our booth next weekend in Sevierville, Tennessee . . .

This is not an x-ray of my hand – or of Darlene, Picasso, or Fred’s hand. But it is significant to them – this is Linda Malcom’s hand (Lost Coast Designs). She slipped and fell at Fred Meyer (one of what seems like thousands of supermarket chains owned by Kroger) – and if you look at the little finger and follow it down into her palm, you’ll find the break. Since Linda is left handed, that means no shows for a while – so her space in the Sevierville show is now going to Stampland, and they will have their usual full-sized booth (at least it was “usual” until they retired).

So you won’t get to listen to Darlene and me go at it – we live to torment each other. But you are now invited to visit both booths – and all of the others – at the show this weekend.

Welcome!

This has been a work in progress for a long time. I suspected for a long time that we needed to start a blog where we could post information, pictures and such. But it took Cheryl Darrow from Ten Seconds Studio to finally convince me to take the plunge.

When I started building our website more than 18 years ago, I barely knew how to turn on a computer. I learned a lot and got a lot of good advice along the way, we rebuilt it five years ago, and now I can update it in my sleep. This blog is much the same -- at the outset I had only a vague idea how this page would best serve our customers. It has become a place to post pictures from conventions, tutorials, a quick sale notice, some of my stream of consciousness thinking, and pictures of my dog from time to time. I have also discovered a group of foodies who enjoy my recipes and a group of prayer warriors who helped carry my mom through chemotherapy.

You folks are great -- most of the best ideas we've ever had weren't ours at all. They came from our customers.

Someday I'll tell the story of how we entered the world of rubber stamp conventions, mail order, wacky costumes, and more. Again, it wasn't our idea -- two of our customers get all the credit.
